The Houston Texans had three players come off the non-football injury list on Tuesday just in time for the team’s first padded practice of training camp.
Safety Lonnie Johnson, cornerback Cornell Armstrong, and tight end Pharaoh Brown were able to come off NFI and join the team for the sixth practice on day seven of training camp at Houston Methodist Training Center.
The injuries for Johnson, Armstrong, and Brown weren’t disclosed.
With the pads coming on as the trio hops off the NFI list, safety Justin Reid describes Tuesday’s practice as being akin to the first day of school.
“It’s like the first day of school,” Reid said on Aug. 2. “It’s exciting. We all know that what we have been doing the last couple of days has been a whole lot of fun but real football gets played when the pads get put on. So we get to see what everybody got starting [Tuesday].”
